More good.

1. Johnny Alpha and Judge Dredd, striding out into a radioactive wasteland with a swagger that is absolutely justifiable. Who the hell is going to mess with them?

2. "Is ALLnow love."

3. Daredevil takes a subway demon by the horns and steers it back to the light during the comic's improbably good Inferno crossover.

4. Mr Miracle’s shame in the basement, after trying to land the Justice League's jet on the roof of the first Justice League International embassy.

5. Hal Jordan walking off into nothingness at the end of the penultimate issue of Zero Hour.

6. Spider-man bouncing over the no man's land around the Berlin wall in the unrelentingly grim Spider-Man/Wolverine one shot in the late eighties.

7. The bit in Kevin Huizenga's Ganges where he imagines all the couples sleeping beside each other, now and forever.

8. Halo Hones: "Anybody could have done it."

9. The combined might of the Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy face off in a vast apocalyptic battle against Korvac that never leaves a living room, and sees Korvac casually slaughter almost the whole lot of them.

10. Batman takes down a bunch of White Martians by being smarter than they are, and Morrison shows what his Justice League is all about.

11. Frank Castle shows the world a face that was not created by God in Punisher: the Tyger.

12. After Charley Borune wakes up during one of the biggest battles of World War One and discovers he has been used as a shield for the German's machine guns, he wriggles his way free and kills the whole bloody lot of them.
